Surgeon's Knot
This is an exceptionally strong, simple-to-tie knot for joining lines of
different diameters. It's the best knot around for tying tippets to fly-fishing leaders, too. |
1) Lay the line and leader alongside each other, overlapping six to eight
inches.
|
| 2) Treating the two like a single line, tie an overhand knot, pulling the entire
leader through the loop. |
 |
| 3) Leaving the loop of the overhand knot open, pull the tag ends of both the line
and leader through again. |
 |
| 4) Hold both lines and both ends to pull the knot tight. Clip ends
close to avoid foul-ups in the rod guides.
